    Battery life decrease when using blade guards?

    Rule of thumb is that you lose 1 second of flight time for every extra gram of weight. I believe that the guards weight 90 grams so a loss of 90 seconds flight time is about right.

    Is LightBridge Actually 720p?

    720p is only achieved when the bird is about 10 ft away. The video compression seems to take it well below that quality when you get any distance away.

    Unstable P3P fight

    I agree. I thought it was just me but it definitely doesn't fly normally for a few minutes and then seems to settle down! Bizarre. ...

    Android application update question?

    Does it fix the blooming stuttering and crashing that we have with the outgoing version? Anyone tested yet?

    Another P3P down! Battery Error

    Sounds like something else is going on here and not just pilots forgetting to seat the battery properly. How else do you explain this error with a confirmed properly seated battery. I think some of us don't want to acknowledge the truth!

    new batteries reading odd after charge

    My battery didn't charge to more than 98% at first but at around 10 flights in I now get 100%. I never fly them below 40%

    How many flights before you charge your Controller?

    I lose about 8% charge per flight and takes a good few hours to top up.

    Real maximum distance acheived on Phantom 3 Professional

    2km is as far as I dare go with a European CE lower power phantom 3. Can't see why you would ever need to fly further away

    FPV lag; tablet operating temps

    I started getting lag for no apparent reason. Smooth for first couple of weeks ownership but stuttering ever since. I live in uk and haven't seen temperature above 18c at all yet so that ain't the problem. Not upgraded app or firmware either.

    What makes you think it could be your fault?

    Lightbridge downlink Choppy

    I have also started to have this problem. Looks like a few people are also posting YouTube videos about it. Just started without any particular reason so not sure of cause. Not changed firmware or viewing device.

    It works with my s3. Just a bit stuttery on fpv
